- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Notes
- For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce may not be as thick.
- If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use roasted red peppers, chopped.
- Serve with crusty bread for dipping, or over pasta or rice.
